Ok I know who April and Casey and Karai are!
 
I hit up USA Today's website and they have not only a new article but new pictures!

April=Sarah Michelle Gellar
Casey=Chris Evans (aka the Human Torch!)
Karai=Zhang Ziyi (freaking awesome!)
and they confirm that Patrick Stewart is Winters

oh yeah--Kevin Smith has a cameo role as a greasy chef

Buffy is voicing for April? That's funny.

ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael 12-20-2006 10:22 PM

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Very funny dude, but don't joke like that again.

raphaelprime 12-20-2006 10:23 PM

you just beat me to it(atleast for Ziyi) lol, just looked up on USAToday aswell lol.

Thats awsome Zhang is doing Karai

Anarky 12-20-2006 10:24 PM

Hahahahaha, Karai's anorexic.

... wait, people die from anorexia. That's not too funny. But still: Hahahahaha!

Warhorse 12-20-2006 10:24 PM

I wouldn't be laughing at him TMTWBR. Rumors are that USA Today was gonna have the scoop on who was doing the voice, and Patrick Stewart voicing Max Winters is all over the intenet.

you were saying?

Jo Dawn 12-20-2006 10:28 PM

Huh. Well, ok then. Heh. I don't mind SMG, really. Good choices, I think. Especially Patrick Stewart. :)

Prof. X and TMNT? The man is gold.


EDIT _ KEVIN SMITH. *bows*

Those smiles just sumed up my feelings regarding this. I don't know what to say? It's cool knowing the vocie cast, but I was kinda hoping it would be made up of pure voice actors. I mean, I'm stoked about Kevin Smith but, Sarah Michelle Gellar? Chris Evans? I don't know what to think here.

johnnyblaze 12-20-2006 10:33 PM

looking at the new pics you can really see some of the differences among the turtles. notice how small Mikey is and how big Raph is

gobo 12-20-2006 10:34 PM

April, the Vampire Slayer? I guess I can live with that. Who is this Zhang person though? That Karai is startlingly... girly looking. I mean, she's more dolled up than any Karai I've ever seen before. Thanks for the heads-up. :D :tthumbsu:

Yes I did notice! And they all have different shaped heads as well, so hopefully with time, we can figure out who is who without the bandanas and weapons, or the voices either for that matter!

I cannot wait for this movie. It's been a long time coming!

I posted a link look above

Roseangelo 12-20-2006 10:41 PM

Nothing I can complain about!

Except for the fact that they keep getting me more and more excited for March 23 and time isn't passing nearly fast enough!

Warhorse 12-20-2006 10:44 PM

With Patrick Stewart in the cast, could this bring in a huge fan base to the movie who loved him in X-Men and Star Trek?

And also, Kevin Smith and Sarah Michelled Gellar have a huge cult following as well. TMNT might, (I said might here) be a surprise blockbuster for 2007.

You think?

also, he's right about eyes, there each shapped diffrentley. Raph's are more beady than the others.

it reminds me of the first film. his eyes make him look borderline sadistic. you can see the anger just in the shape of his eyes

iris 12-20-2006 11:23 PM

Cool... it's pretty easy to see the differences between the guys in that shot. Each has his own build, his own facial structure (wow, subtle)... and his own scars?

Leo is looking very claymationy in the rain one... interesting.

mikey2007 12-20-2006 11:29 PM

kevin smith is pretty cool, prof. x is a good fit too, but it will be just weird to hear april with the voice of SMG, i mean i dont have anything against her, its just not april to me, as for casey, i don't really have a problem with who they picked for him

johnnyblaze 12-20-2006 11:31 PM

you can see April in the corner of that group image as well. It looks like they are at a temple or something. With Splinter there I wonder if that means he's going to be in the battle, kicking some ass alongside the boys

gobo 12-20-2006 11:35 PM

Don't you just love it when professionals refer to turtles as amphibians like they did here? I guess if the reporter doesn't mind making himself or herself sound foolish, I shouldm't care either. ^_^

I think. It's certainly gaining momentum to become just that. But, it's almost like old-skool fans of TMNT don't even acknowledge the recent toons. That seems odd to me.

Kendamu 12-20-2006 11:43 PM

Most of the oldschool fans who watched the old toon that I ask about the new toon don't like it due to it not actually being the oldschool cartoon reborn.

The "C0W4BUHNGAH!!!1" fans very much outweigh the "OMG LEO KILLED T3H SHREDDAR WIT DEECAPINASHIN!!!!111" fans.

Oh yeah. Love it. That's totally hot. :sick:

The problem is that article was written by an adult at USA Today. I have a personal grudge against USA Today. Because they suck.

And no more news articles for me. Too spoilery.

*psst* Most of them don't know 2K3 exists.

Masked Ninja 12-21-2006 12:28 AM

Holy - wow... look how built Raph is, especially compared to Mikey. Sweet. His plastron is even a little convex on the sides, which makes him look even bigger. Too bad you can't see Don very well. And :tlove: fuzzy Splinter. Now I'm REALLY hoping he kicks butt.

Too bad I don't watch Buffy... and didn't see Fantastic Four... or I might know what those voices sound like. I might hit up Google video in a sec to see (would try Youtube, but it's been blocked on my network).

But holycrap. Patrick Stewart = yes.

ZariusTwo 12-21-2006 01:21 AM

This looks like a movie that knows how to treat it's fans right, unlike Transformers.

Raph's Girl 12-21-2006 02:18 AM

Sarah Michelle Gellar as April?! Well um... at least April has experience in fighting monsters.... :P I always thought the Turtle van resembled the Mystery Machine...

But Patrick Stewart as Max Winters!! WOOT!!! :evilgrin:

I wonder who voices the turtles tho??

ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael 12-21-2006 02:20 AM

What I'm hoping for...

Leo: Jason Mardsen
Don: Billy West
Mikey: Will Fridle
Raph: Steve Blum

U refering to Karai being so skinny or the fact that those foot soldiers look like bugs?

ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael: The USA today article said that the turtles wouldn't have any "celeb" voices... just April, Casey, Splinter, Karai, and Max Winters.

Mandi-chan 12-21-2006 04:46 AM

This cast it awesome!

SMG...Patrick Stewart...MAKO! *dies of happines*

Good to finally have a good look at Karai. I think she's pretty, a little too skinny though (at least she's not as skinny as Mirage from the Incredibles...my goodness that woman really did look like a twig!).

Draconic 12-21-2006 09:39 AM

Looks like you can also tell them apart by the top part of their plastrons... Turtle Cleavage. Leo's is is kinda sharp, while Donny's is a little softer looking.

To Karai. Her waist is just so... unnatural. :|

But yeah, there's also something "buggish" in the appearance of the Foot Clan. They look like ants to me.

Roseangelo 12-21-2006 10:14 AM

Am I the only person NOT bothered by Karai? It's a style, not a representation of real life. And this isn't the first animation project to use such a style. Anyone ever watch anime? :dead:

Well Raph appears to be closer than the rest, so he should look bigger. I'm sure there is still a size difference but I don't think it's as large as some people think.

TerranigmaFreak 12-21-2006 10:40 AM

Other than Patrick Stewart, I don't really care for the other people.

This movie looks great, but the human character design is just horrible. They look more and more out of place in the movie. TMNT look dead serious, but the women has a bit of a... Bratz look to them... *shivers* Karai looks like the weight of her head will cause her to bend backward and snap her body in half.

Also, about the size of Raph... I think he's actually a bit closer to the screen than Mikey. Still there's no denying that he is bulkier than Mikey, but this picture makes it more obvious partly because Raph is closer. At least that's what it looks like. I could be wrong though. Kind of hard to tell.

Masked Ninja 12-21-2006 10:53 AM

I imagine they're all close to the same size, yes. I'm just looking at the shape of the shoulders and arms - Raph has some serious traps, while Mikey has much less. Raph has a thicker neck, too, relative to the size of his head.

Anarky 12-21-2006 10:58 AM

You know, I noticed something. While the TMNT and Splnter look rather good, Karai seems to have been lifted from one of those Barbie-CGI-movies. I understand that they need to save money wherever they can, but such an imbalanced look on the main cast? I doubt that's a very good idea.

And why on earth is her waist only about 2 inches in diameter? That's just insane.

Amen to those.

Casey-doll and April-doll, ugh. I wish this movie had no human characters at all. Because, by contrast, the TMNT look pretty cool.

It's not that we are obliged to like this style. We're free to criticise it.

discordiatookie 12-21-2006 11:56 AM

i'm not complaining! i kinda dig it, and also look! the foot soldiers are wearing Y-fronts!!!!
